Hi guys,
Trying to merge multiple mono and poly Wave files while piping (to add
custom padding to each input file.)
Whatever I do, on input poly files the output channel order is totally
unpredictable.
I’m using something like sox -M “| sox 3ch.wav -p pad 1” “|sox
5ch.wav” -b 24 output.wav
I would expect to get the same order of output as in the order of the
input / pipe, but that does not happen.
What happens if you pad the files first
and then do the merge without any extra piping?
Hi Jan,
That would create a lot of temp files, and take time.
However, I think I have it resolved by putting all inputs as mono into a
(very long) pipe:
eg
sox - M “| sox 3ch.wav -p pad 1 remix 1" “| sox 3ch.wav -p pad 1 remix 2" “|
sox 3ch.wav -p pad 1 remix 3" “| sox 5ch.wav -p pad 1 remix 1 ...... etc...
That seems to do the trick!
thx,
Bouke
Jan
